BA5216: Backup media will not be made bootable¶
| Error code | Product | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| BA5216 | BackupAssist | BackupAssist v9 and later |
Description¶
The Prepare step, whilst creating a backup job to an external USB HDD media, determined that the media can be made bootable. To do this, an existing partition on the external HDD needs to be shrunk to make room for a new boot-partition. This operation can not be performed during a backup.
Resolution¶
Use RecoverAssist to make the backup media a bootable recovery media. Then re-run the backup job using that bootable media.
Warning
This process will probably erase the existing data on the backup media.
To learn how to use the RecoverAssist Builder, see the Creating a bootable recovery media section of the RecoverAssist Builder guide.
